—
by
The Town Mouse and Country Mouse I was in love with the country, and she, in love with the city. We were in love with each other but were split by the hand of destiny. She preferred nights on the town and I, counting country stars. We woke up side-by-side each morning, yet the distance…

Dreams Unrequited Love Poem
—
by
Dreams I’ve seen you in my dreams splitting through the seams I’ve sewed, trying to keep you out. Pressing play on the same ol’ scenes of what was like a movie classic stuck on loop, even though I’ve already swept you from my stoop. Yet, my dreams teleport my heart upon this ragged, wooden sloop…

Poem About Feeling Alone and Misunderstood
—
by
Alien – A Poem Feelings run too deeplike the full summer moon,sinking in the sky’s dark sea of black.Reminiscing, pondering over burnt out stars,wishing their beautiful light could somehow be brought back. But the ancient dust has crumbled,scattered like ashes in the brisk solar wind.But memories stand transfixed,unaltered by time, suspendedin infinity’s domain without an…

The Woman in the Mirror
—
by
The Woman in the Mirror You are a seductive temptressthat tempts with the ticks of time.In control of the clocks hands,only needing to rewind to the moments we left behind. You still lurk in the shadows –a creature stalking in the dead of night.But potential follows wherever your heart goes,needing only to let go of…

The Sailor – A Poem

by
The Sailor – A Poem You’ve sent me off as an aimless navigator Traveling upon treacherous and torrential seas. Once was a proud and confident sailor, But now find there’s no compass I can read. Needles spin with the wind and poles have no meaning When they are altered by my heart’s magnetic field. And…

A Breakup Poem About Rejection and Starting Over

by
Leaving Home – A Poem About Getting Rejected by a Lover Leaving home and venturing aloneOut across the unfamiliar frontier.The scenery and signposts are all unknown,And my heart sags, burdened by hesitation and fear. Traveling along tomorrow’s highway,Musing over the miles left behind.But when you’ve played every card there is to play,Your eviction notice has…

Rosebush – A Poem
—
by
Rosebush – A Poem On Nature And Flowers I am mesmerized by your petals – Stained crimson red with beauty. Delicate like soft velvet, Detailed in form, hiding mystery. Your aroma arises to meet me. Scents of seduction, the fragrance of romanticism you send. Your hands stretch out across the winds, Captivating, caressing, and undressing…

One Day At A Time – A Poem

by
One Day At A Time – A Poem The cool breeze of fall Grips me in a trance, Lost in a dance that I wish I could take part in. But these feet waltz alone And these fingers intertwine with no one, Holding nothing but empty space. It’s just me beneath an October moon, Admiring…

Stars
—
by
Stars Tears fall. Shooting, streaming from the sky. Stars that used to shine Are extinguished in seas of pain and die. Endless black covers heaven’s rooftop With no signposts or signal fires to light and guide the way. The moon mourns in solemn tunes, Refusing to reflect the sun’s rays. Dreams of desolation Devour the…

The Siren’s Song – A Poem
—
by
The Siren’s Song – A Poem Standing in the shadow of sullen memories My mind rocks, crashes, splashes Like the roaring waves of the open sea, Bound within chambers of emotion – Locked within the prison cell in which my heart has sentenced me. My heart moans, mounts up upon scattered fragments of possibility But…

Stutter Step – A Poem
—
by
Stutter Step – A Poem Like a quick, passing glance The foot falls of our dance Stutter and come to a halting screech. Not through random chance, Nor matters of unforeseen circumstance, But because you refuse to leap. Leave matters of the heart to faith. Believe and dream in the life that awaits For you…

The Trouble With Love – A Poem

by
The Trouble With Love – A Poem Why do I continually let people into my fragile heart Who have no business being there? Why do I continue to trust in the promise of love When it only breeds deep wounds of despair? “I Love You’s” are thrown around like hellos, Promises given without the trace…

Unrequited Love Poem About Missing Someone You Love
—
by
Oh, how the heart aches when it’s separated from who you love–even more so after a break-up. When we go through hard times in a relationship our minds never seem to rest. We question all our past actions and words while mapping out possible ways to fix things and get back to the way we…

If Only … – A Love Poem

by
If Only … – A Love Poem If there was a way to pluck my beating heart from my chest, I’d let you have it. Just to give you the comfort Of knowing you could crush it at a moment’s notice, Just so you wouldn’t feel so vulnerable, so weak, so full of fear. If…

Betrayal Burns Like A Bonfire – A Poem of Love

by
Betrayal Burns Like A Bonfire – A Poem of Love My heart is burning in the flames of betrayal – Scorching like a fiery furnace stripping away metal, Bubbling like a boiling brew over a kettle; Anguish stirs within. Oh, this wretched weakness, this bitter sin That I allow my anger to smolder. Steam sneaks…
